Better than Barton Hall?
The jam between Scarlet > Fire is awesome. Garcia and the drummers are really locked in and Donna sounds just great, haunting and eerie. Beautiful Peggy-O, Brown-Eyed Women, and Estimated too.

download before it changes
there is a new name to replace Dicks picks. It's
called Dave's Picks who is picking up where
Dick left off. This concert is supposed to be
his first recording and it probably won't be available for downloading in the future.

Richmond native and the mosque is no doubt an intimate setting for a show. How do you download on this site.

The ending jam is awesome,
with a tremendous Other One/Wharf Rat/Wheel sandwich, but up till then I wouldn't call it the best show of the year, or even of the season. Granted, I'm not a particular fan of the Dead's '77 sound (a little too tight, clean and polished for my taste), but there are shows from this period I like better than this one. Before Drums, this is a fairly run of the mill performance, with typically professional but unspectacular renditions of the usual tunes.

Wow
I was at the show one week earlier (my first Dead show, 5/18). Been crawling around this site for a while. Just found this.
Wow. Just wow.
Time has been kind to me and my toys. Enjoyed this at concert volume last night on the Klipschorns.
Thank you Mr. Charlie Miller!!

by far one of THE best shows of 77. i dont think the music could have played the band any better on this night. this show is perfection from first song to last. incredible playing and energy. something happened in may of 77 that sent these guys into the stratosphere. easily easily up there with the boston garden and barton hall shows. betty caught lightning in a bottle in richmond.

Thanks for the music!
Use latest Mozilla Firefox browser. Install the DownloadHelper plugin. Once you play one of the songs, you should be able to save each .mp3 file locally by clicking the rotating yellow/blue/red balls icon. This show is truly incredible! I wasn't even alive when this show took place!

Look at the year.
Look at the month.
Look at the setlist.
Nothing more to say that hasn't been said.

blew my socks off :-)
i try to read more reviews than i write, especially with a band like The Grateful Dead because, well, I wasn't there. But I know greatness, I'm a lover of music, appreciative of art, and respectful of the time and dedication it took to get this show sounding so beautifully clear and well-tracked. That being said the music says it all, 5 star recording generally means 5 stars in my book- if I could rate this 10 I would.
Peace and love.

Another May '77 Standout
One of the best Scarlet/Fires ever; fantastic Estimated; transcendental Other One->Wharf Rat->
Other One, and a jumpin' Miss 1/2 Step to kick it all off in an historic Southern venue where Elvis once played in 1956 during on his rise to rock immortality. Well...the King himself could never have imagined what would follow him through the door. And on this night, the lucky Heads in the audience were in for a suprise as well.

But dont you know he chose this place beside her...
The boys come out with a Blazin MHST, great first set list in to a soothing Jack Straw, heartfelt TLovedEO in to P-O and a deep soul full Loser. Keith always was very good at bringing a strong deep emotion to the Pegg-os and Losers and He’s gone, songs like that on his twinkling piano, Brett sometimes opts for the organ (I love Brett too, I just like Keith better on some songs, just my own personal opinion). Second set is a treat for any Dead fan, just Killer f’n classic Scarlet Fire in to EP, he’s gone, killer other one and a neat turnaround from W-Rat (if the lords willing, I’ll be back on my feet again someday.) to the wheel, loved it. The guys at their prime, Donna doest get too crazy, and Phil is a strong the whole show. It’s a 5 on the set list alone, sound quality is really good (you can hear Phil really good unlike some aud recordings). Also, Bobbi and Jerr really seemed to be having a good time they sound really good during Jack Straw. Wish I was alive to be part of the vibe, but IM glad of what’s still left. Peace and love from VA Beach.

He's Gone but he ain't forgotten....
This is a fine fine show & wonderful recording. Puts one right there. Got to agree they were on their A game this night and check out the He's Gone jam...absolutely brilliant. Other high points include Lazy Lightning-supplication (never played enough), Cassidy and a fine They Love Each Other. And you can't go wrong with a show that includes The Other One/Wharf Rat.
Peace

On Fire Up on the Mountain
I've been listening to these guys for 40 years and I thought I heard it all until a couple of night ago. I'm at my desk doing some work when Scarlet B. starts up (and it's a good version at that) and then the J-Man gets going on Fire on the Mountain. It's a good song, I've always thought, but it was a fuckin' classic on this night in Richmond. Now put your headphone on and close your eyes. It's one of the best single songs I have ever heard on a recording from the Dead. And, I'm saying that when there are probably 15 other tunes I would normally prefer. Like an old trip revisited.

Stories from my dad
This was my late fathers favorite concert.
I found this out after going through his attic prior to the estate sale. WOW i found close to 40 dead tapes. This date had "Best" scribled on it. unfortunatly, after being in a Texas attic for 15 plus years, this particular tape was unplayable. But i agree with my dad that this concert was one for the books.
Like all of you who couldn't be around in their glorry days with K&D this website offers a glimpse of that era. My dad was an faithful tripper and follower of the dead, and after jerry's death he was never the same, but he always had his tapes and i will never forget the Dead or my father.

One of the best
For some reason every time I am on the Archive I can not stop myself from listening to this show.
First it's the He's gone, simply gives me goosebumps and then it's the sound of the show...a little echo like hard to describe but it haunts me. Just beautiful

This Show Rocks!!
This show is 'DA BOMB'! It's as good as any show in 1977. I would put it right up there with Boston Garden, Cornell University, Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, and Pembroke Pines for '77. Heck, I would have given anything to be any of these concerts back in 1977! But I was stationed overseas in Okinawa at the time.

Half-Step, Jack Straw, and Peggy-O are simply amazing! Now if you really want a Half-Step that is in a class by itself, then check out the one from 5-8-77 at Boston Garden!
And the 2nd set speaks for itself! Any time you get Wharf Rat sandwiched in the middle of the Other One, then you are in for a treat.
Check out my other reviews from other awesome Grateful Dead shows!!

this doesn't sound as muffled as the one with 60+ reviews. I recommend this source. It sounds crisper.
